processing units of the RNC on the control plane and user plane respectively.
Table 1-1 describes the parameters required for calculating the quantity of
SPUa and DPUb boards.

1.1.2 SPUa and DPUb Calculation Based on Input
Parameters
Since different operators use different traffic models, the BHCA, CS voice,
CS data, and subscribers of the SPUa and DPUb boards must be re-calculated
on the basis of the operators real traffic models.

1. BHCA for owner per SPUa = (Target maximum CPU load Reserved
CPU load for cell management and OAM) / CPU usage for signaling
process per sub x 3600 x CPU number for signaling process per SPUa
2. CS voice for owner per SPUa = Min (BHCA for owner per SPUa x CS
voice call duration / 3600, 3000)
3. CS data for owner per SPUa = Min (BHCA for owner per SPUa x CS
data call duration / 3600, 750)

1. Subscribers for owner per SPUa based on BHCA = BHCA for owner per
SPUa / Total call per sub per BH
2. Subscribers for owner per DPUb based on throughput = PS throughput
per DPUb x 1000 / (CS voice payload throughput per sub x Voice and
throughput traded off factor + CS data payload throughput per sub x CS

SPUa boards can work in active/standby mode. Even when they do not work
in active/standby mode, the slots for the standby SPUa boards must be left
vacant. In this case, each SPUa board actually requires two slots. The quantity
of SPUa boards required is related to the quantity of subracks. For details
about how to calculate the quantity of subracks, refer to section 1.2
"Calculating Quantities of Subracks."
1.2 Calculating Quantities of Subracks
1.2.1 Calculating the Quantity of RSSs
One RSS is fixedly configured for each RNC.
Configuration quantity of RSS = 1
1.2.2 Calculating the Quantity of RBSs
After configuring the RSS, determine the quantity of RBSs based on the
quantity of determined SPUa boards, DPUb boards, and interface boards.
To calculate the quantity of RBSs, calculate the following quantities first:
Each subrack of the BSC6810 V200R010 can be configured with a
maximum of 6 E1/T1 interface boards. Therefore,
RBS_1 = (quantity of AEUa boards + quantity of PEUa boards 6)/6
Each subrack of the BSC6810 V200R010 can be configured with a
maximum of 10 SPUa boards. Therefore,
RBS_2 = (SPUa1 10)/10

SPUa1 denotes the quantity of SPUa boards.
The RSS can be configured with a maximum of 10 DPUb boards. Each
RBS can be configured with a maximum of 12 DPUb boards. Therefore,
RBS_3 = (quantity of DPUb boards 10)/12
The RSS can be configured with a maximum of 16 SPUa and DPUb
boards. Each RBS can be configured with a maximum of 18 SPUa and
DPUb boards. Therefore,
RBS_4 = (SPUa1 + quantity of DPUb boards 16)/18
The RSS provides only the 10 slots in its rear for interface boards. Each
RBS provides the 14 slots in its rear for interface boards. Note that the
total number of slots at the back halves of the subracks cannot be smaller
than the number of interface boards required. Therefore,
RBS_5 = (quantity of interface boards 10)/14
The RSS can be configured with a maximum of 20 SPUa, DPUb, and
interface boards. Each RBS can be configured with a maximum of 26
SPUa, DPUb, and interface boards. Therefore,
RBS_6 = (SPUa1 + quantity of DPUb boards + quantity of interface
boards 20)/26
Then, the quantity of RBSs = MAX(RBS_1, RBS_2, RBS_3, RBS_4, RBS_5,
RBS_6)
1.2.3 Determining the Quantities of Subracks and SPUa
Boards
The procedure for determining the quantities of subracks and SPUa boards is
as follows:
1. Take the quantity of subracks as Subrack1. Then,
Subrack1 = quantity of RBSs + quantity of RSSs
2. Each subrack requires one fourth of an SPUa board for resource
management, and SPUa boards are mandatory to subracks. Therefore,
calculate the quantity of SPUa boards, SPUa2, as follows:
SPUa2 = [MAX(SPUa
N
, SPUa
CPU
+ Subrack1 / 4 , SPUa
subNum
,
Subrack1)] x 2
3. Use SPUa2 to calculate the quantity of subracks Subrack2.
4. Determine the quantity of SPUa boards as follows:
When all SPUa boards work in active/standby mode,
SPUa3 = [MAX(SPUa
N
, SPUa
CPU
+ Subrack2 / 4 , SPUa
subNum
,
Subrack2)] x 2
When no SPUa board works in active/standby mode,
SPUa3 = MAX(SPUa
N
, SPUa
CPU
+ Subrack2 / 4 , SPUa
subNum
,
Subrack2)
